Core List

National security controls are based largely on CoCom's international
industrial list (known generally as the "core list"), which replaced the
old industrial list effective September 1991. The core list includes items
in ten categories: (1) materials, (2) materials processing, (3)
electronics, (4) computers, (5) telecommunications and cryptography, (6)
sensors, (7) avionics and navigation, (8) marine technology, (9) propulsion
systems and transportation equipment, and (10) miscellaneous.
